Buying in Bulk
Do you do this? What are your tips? Do you wait for a good offer and then stock up by the armful? Do you buy enough for 6 months? A year? Where do you buy from? Amazon? Or is it irrelevant because your chosen brand is sold at a consistent price?

New Food Products People May Wish To Check Out
One of my favourite threads here is the good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl thread. One problem though is that when you find something interesting from another supermarket (or source), there's no-where obvious to post it.

Cost of meat
I've been vegan since the mid 1990s, so am not in touch with the cost of meat. However, they keep having that Lidl add on television, saying that you can buy two filet steaks at M&S for £12. £12!?!?!?!?!? For two steaks? £6 each?

Aldi Thin & Crispy Fries vs McDonalds Fries
I used to eat at McDonalds a lot, but stopped in the early/mid 1990s for various reasons. One thing I'm curious about: I used to like their chips/fries. Recently I've been oven cooking Aldi 'Thin & Crispy' fries, and as far as my memory holds, these are a very good substitute. However, I'd like to ask if anyone with more…

lactose free milk at Aldi
I discovered this morning that Aldi have introduced a lactose free milk. £1.15 (compared to the usual £1.35 for the Arla variety). Maybe that is why the Arla one is on special offer at Tesco and Asda! The Aldi one is only semi skimmed thought, and I usually prefer skimmed, so I shall have to come to some sort of decision…
